"Herman Badilo is not a "mental midget" and was the man leading the charge to get CCNY to close the open adnissions program and won that fight."
Herman Badillo became a Republican in 2000.
Herman started his political career as a race card hysteric and foaming at the mouth liberal; I hated him. He finally saw the light, changed, and has tried to undo and/or fix things. radical minority groups have given him a lot of trouble, but in the end, he's stood tall and done the right thing.
